About Newport, RI

Newport is in Newport County. It lies approximately 30 miles south of Providence. Located at the southern end of Aquidneck Island, Newport is surrounded by the waters of Narragansett Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Historic Newport was a maritime settlement for centuries. By the mid-nineteenth century, it became known as a summer resort due to its pristine beaches and cool, pleasant summer weather. Starting in the 1880s, Newport, RI, became the home of America’s wealthiest families from New York, Boston and the South, who built palatial estates.

Newport is connected to neighboring communities by three bridges and Interstate highways I-95, I-195, and I-24. The city is easily accessible to the rest of Rhode Island and New England. Full-time Newport residents enjoy a thriving local economy that is driven by tourism and Naval Station Newport, which houses the U.S. Naval War College, Naval Undersea Warfare Center and a major U.S. Navy training center.
